Hello folks. Just a short intro. Im new to these forums and pretty new to running

Im SJ, from the Glasgow area. Im 22 and my Primary interest is bodybuilding although i used to be into running, inparticular in my early teens. I have started getting back into it recently as my metabolism is starting to slow down a tad and the muscle gain is starting to be accompanied with fat

Been running a nice private country estate thats 1.5 miles and currently working on getting my time down to the 10 min mark before moving onto 3 miles. My first time was 13.5min and im now down to 11 min 10 sec....that wasnt pretty BTW!

I dont plan on getting into marathons or any long distance running as that would probably detract from my weight training. I hope to improve my fitness and stamina a little and avoid fat gain. This forum seems like a good place to get some pointers.

.

Regards

SJ

Ill do a bit of lurking as theres nothing worse for the regular guys than newbies blocking up the forums with the same old questions.

Regards

Hiya SJ and welcome, you say you're not bothered about marathons or long distance. Bet this time next year your running miles and miles

Hey! Don't feel bad about being too lazy to read what's already lurking in the threads, it just means I can pretend I know something... when really I'm just repeating what I've already been told myself!
